best industry to start
Hey friend,
For young people getting into online business, I generally steer them towards marketing or sales, for several reasons…
Literally every business in the world needs marketing & sales.
There’s over 300M companies worldwide. And many of them need marketing & sales teams, not just 1 marketer or sales person. So there is a profound amount opportunity.
It’s easier to sell, because every business owner wants to grow and wants to make more money, so if you can deliver that- you’ll always have clients.
You get real feedback
In marketing & sales, especially direct response or direct sales driven marketing or sales- you get real time feedback. You know quite quickly whether what you are doing is working or not. You have data to prove that what you have done is valuable.
This feedback allows you to grow. You cannot grow with out clear & direct feedback.
Many people will often try & find more supposedly “creative” areas to work- but in my experience most of them are just scared of real feedback.
You get paid for value.
When you work in marketing & sales, its very easy to setup a payment structure where you get paid for results and value, rather than tasks. This is an important step if you want to be wealthy. Wealthy people don’t get paid for their time, or for attempting to do something, they get paid for real results. It’s an important shift from the programming of school and 9-5 culture, where you just get paid for showing up and clocking in and doing the minimum to get your pay check.
